Important Update for 2025 Sunflower Season
Dear friends and visitors,
We have an update regarding our sunflower season at Old Homestead Orchard. Due to the historic rainfall we've experienced this year, our sunflowers have unfortunately been affected by rot from the inside out, making them unsuitable for u-pick activities.
However, we're not letting Mother Nature dampen our spirits! Here's what we have planned:
Our sunflower MAZE is still open and ready for adventure
We will have beautiful flowers available for arranging during Sunflower Fest this weekend from the Flower Bee.
As a thank you for your understanding, we're offering our maze walk at HALF PRICE for the remainder of the season
There's still plenty of fun and opportunity here at the orchard, and we're grateful for your continued support - especially during years like this one.
We can't wait to welcome you for maze adventures and all the other activities we have planned. Thank you for being part of our farm family!
